OPEN AND CLOSED DRAINS SYSTEM

December 05, 2014

The drain system design is based on segregated systems, described

below.
The Open Non-Hazardous Drainage System provide drainage for
locations that are designated non-hazardous. This system is
segregated from all other open or closed drain systems.
Non-hazardous areas generally include storage vessel areas for utility
materials such as lubricating oil, diesel fuel, etc. The drain system
from these areas, referred to as the Open Non-Hazardous Drains
(ONHD), handles Huids collected from open drip pans, tundishes and
Hoors in non-hazardous areas.
Discharge of the ONHD to the system shall be by open galleys for the
Hoor drains and a tundish type system for equipment maintenance
drains. The disposal stream is discharged into the API Separator 1
Skimmer. The hydrocarbons settling out in the Separator / Skimmer
will be pumped to burn pit for Onal disposal.
The Open Hazardous Drainage System provides drainage for areas
that are designated hazardous. These generally include all process
areas and locations where hydrocarbons are present in signiOcant
quantities. The drains system from these areas, referred to as the
Open Hazardous Drains (OHD), handles Huids collected from open
drip pans, tundishes and Hoors in hazardous areas. The open drain
system must only be used for draining hydrocarbon Huids from
process vessels after preparation for maintenance (depressurization).
The OHD streams are collected and routed to the API Separator
Skimmer by a separate channel. Collected hydrocarbons are pumped
to burn pit for Onal disposal.
Water from open drain system will be directed to the API separator /
skimmer and then disposed to the river. The design of the water
handling system as minimum it will comprise:
· API Separator / Skimmer
· 1 x oily water pump
The Closed Drain System (CD) consists of a permanent pipe work
connection and collection header for routing drained liquids to a
vented closed drain drum. It handles hazardous Huids from process
vessels, keeping them out of contact with the atmosphere.
The Closed Drain Drum is designed with suTcient volume to receive
the drained Huids and to permit vapor disengagement. A safety
margin is applied to cover additional volumes, which may be drained.
A high level alarm is installed to prevent overOlling. The drum shall
have a minimum design pressure of 100 psig (eliminating the risk of
rupture in the event of a deHagration). The vent is sized to discharge
the highest vapor How that could enter the drum if gas blow by should
occur.
The sizing requirement for the closed drain drum pumps is the
removal of all liquids between LLH and LLL in 30 minutes to the API
Separator/Skimmer.
Overview of drain system:
The Closed Drain System shall be designed to receive and degas the
maximum expected production of raw condensate and oil from the
various sources, and will consist of:
· 1 off - closed drain drum
· 2 off -100 % closed drain drum pumps & motors
